Description

Technical Specifications

  • Needle Gauge: 18G (Large enough to allow a nerve block catheter to pass through the lumen)

  • Needle Length: 100 mm (4 inches)

  • Bevel Type: Tuohy (A curved tip designed to guide the catheter safely into the space and prevent catheter shearing)

  • Connector Type: NRFit™ (ISO 80369-6 compliant)

  • Guidance: Dual-mode (Ultrasound-visible and Nerve Stimulation)

  • Feature: Integrated stimulating cable and yellow-coded safety hub


Key Features

  • ECHOBRIGHT* Technology: The needle features a 360° laser-etched pattern at the tip. This makes the needle highly visible under ultrasound, which is critical for safety when placing needles for deep-tissue blocks like the Sciatic or Infraclavicular.

  • Nerve Stimulation: The "C" in the code indicates a pre-attached stimulating cable. This allows clinicians to use electrical pulses to confirm the needle’s proximity to a nerve via muscle twitch, adding a second layer of verification before catheter insertion.

  • Tuohy Tip Design: The curved Tuohy bevel is the gold standard for continuous blocks. It helps "steer" the catheter as it exits the needle tip, ensuring it travels alongside the nerve rather than directly into it.

  • NRFit™ Safety: The yellow-coded hub is physically incompatible with standard Luer-lock IV sets. This eliminates the risk of accidental cross-connection between regional anesthesia medication and intravenous lines.
